i think gsp is the fittest guy in all of sports. obviously would be a great crossfitter whenever he decides he better do THAT before he's 60.

PTS said...

NY FOOTBALL JETS! I like the comment, it i why we all compete I think.

Heavy Evy said...

I think GSP needs to get into a deeper squat for those dumbell snatches........ha ha.

bmizzlle said...

Now this looks FUN!!! Wes you and me have similiar numbers Im gunning to beat you haha thanks for the great competition everyone!! and for the amazing stuff here its really working thanks OPT(James)!

Heavy Evy said...

OPT,
For the KBS do you want American, Russian, or the just above forehead as has been rx'd lately?
Thanks for the programming!
Heavy

Johan said...

Coach!
What do you mean with low score on the tabatas?

Johan said...

I´m guessing we should just post the lowest score we get... =)

Garage Crossfitter said...

Somewhat of a rest day for me...i am digging up the cover of an old septic tank on the piece of land our future house and business, OPT EAST USA, is going. its negative 9 degrees farenheit right now so this should be fun.

Hit it hard guys!

Always been a huge fan of GSP!

Very difficult to get moving after yesterday. Went to heavy to early on Clean Grip Snatches. First time doing them and they were very awkward. Couldnt keep upright torso late in the Snatch grip DL's. Felt as though I had been hit by a truck halfway through B set. Yesterday took its toll

C. stopped after 4th round, right shoulder has been acting up for about a month and it is catching up to me

had to press out the last couple power snatches
DB swings to overhead, tried to push it back down to maintain tempo
back ext were a good mental test (the urge to stop at 12 reps almost got me)

C. 7

Tabata breakdown...
18/13/10/10/8/8/7/7=81 total
I stopped early on the first round thinking that I had more in me but didn't account for insufficient rest between rounds. If I had stuck with 10 or 11 I could have held it throughout. Next time.

rwcorson said...

Johan,
You are correct. If you get 15 reps in the first 20 sec set, your goal is to maintain 15 reps/20secs for the next 7 sets.
There is a bit of gaming to be done, as if you over estimate the reps you can do, you usually fail to get to that number at some point.

rwcorson said...

Johan,
Just look at Noah comments for an example of what I was talking about.

Inexperience in the clean grip power snatch showed. I could have gone up in weight for the deadlift. Tabatas felt strong until the last set. I am ready for a rest day!

Clean grip power snatches were light and fast, but I found myself favoring my left knee at the catch. Snatch grip DLs were hook gripped and strapless with good tempo - very tough on the thumbs. Swings were to Games standard. Smooth, grip was limiting factor. Extensions performed with arms across chest. Push-ups died quickly after first round of 20. Strict, full ROM for all.

My lower back and ass are torched!

I was gunning for 15 and fell apart in sets 6, 7 and 8

ken c said...

A. 135x3 140x3 145x3 145x3 150x1 140x3 (the 150 was a total press out. did another set to make up for the fail. others had arms bent slightly in the catch.)

B1. 225x4 230x4 235x4 (tried to keep pull from the floor like a snatch and not a deadlift i.e. big open chest.)
B2. 70lbsx15x3 (kb overhead)
B3. 12x3 (2 sets unbroken. last set broke at 8. couldn't maintain the 1 sec pause at the top. just knocked out the last 4 fast.)

C. 8 (DAMMIT! was trying to hit 12 everytime and it went like this: 12x6 11 and 8. just a total crash and burn on the last round.

Nathan H. said...

A: 60kg/3, 64/3, 70/3, 74/2, 78/1
missed the last rep @ 78. First time doing that movement and it was weird!

B1: 110kg/6 for all sets. Should have gone a lot heavier. I used just over 100% of my snatch; should've gone with 120% or so. Maybe more.

B2: 2 pood was the heaviest I had. All sets 15, to straight over head-games standard. Wish I had an 88 or a 'beast.
'
B3: 20, 20, 20. Might hold a 5kg plate next time. Still burned though!

C1: 9; 15, 15, 15, 15, 13, 12, 9, 9
Total: 104

Pushups are one of my weakest movements for some reason. I was in the army for half a decade too! Lol.

Took snatches from the floor - were these meant to be from the hang? Based on the tempo I think they were?

Quickly unloaded bar at bottom of each rep on SGDL. No tap and go reps.

Pos chain fried on GHD BE.

Fatigued on pushups much quicker than usual. (12 in the third round?!?)

Sore, tired, stressed.

cramping...not craping.

Bad word to misspell.

Brent Maier said...

38/6'2"/199

A CGPSnatch: 60/62.5/65/67.5/72.5kg (160#) - Last one was more of a snatch to top of head and press out. All sets of x3 except for last round of x2.

B1 SGDL: 140/145/150kg (330#) - All sets of 4, no straps. Everything hurt and grip couldn't take anymore weight.
B2 KBS: 100#/105#/110# - x15 unbroken. Painful last set. Another dip into the "will" bucket.
B3 GHD BE: 20/20/20 - First 20 unbroken, 2nd set I got to 12, 3rd set got to 5. Finished out to 20 at tempo with quick pauses to allow back pain to subside.

C TabataPU: 9 (13/13/13/13/10/10/10/9) - Didn't go into this knowing my last but 13 seemed doable. I guessed wrong, I tried but couldn't pull off my 10's. :(

Notes: Ran 4.2 miles with the family before the workout. Hamstrings are pretty sore from the squats the other day. Looking forward to a day off.

Today's WOD was a mental and physical breakdown.
I couldn't get my hips going for the clean grip snatch and let the frustration seep into the rest of my workout.
Tomorrow is a day for recovery....mostly mental.

rwcorson: It was my first tabata,I basicly went to failure each set, are you supposed to hold back to have a better score?

Joey Warren: My gym only has 45#KB Any tips on how to swing 2 at a time? I see you do that quite often, and tryed it today and it felt akward.

Notes: A. Clean Grip on the Pwr Snatch was a mind buster but fun. Last set with some pressing. The snatch deads felt really heavy and form/tempo became more difficult on the last 3 reps. Loved and hated the KBS that was all mental. Tabata anything but push ups and i would have been happy as they are my nemesis. So ready for a rest day tomorrow.

Heavy Evy, I've been trying to swing 2 KBs to go heavier, but I came to the realization I dont like it, it felt akward today to try to swing 2 53lb KBs. My stance had to be too wide so Ill stick w heavy DBs or go buy a 2,5pood KB.

Notes:
A. Could possible have gone a little heavier, but was pushing it up at the end instead of just landing under it.
B1. Should have started heavier and gone heavier throughout.
B2. Felt pretty good, but back was smoked in round 3.
B3. Round 1 was OK, 2 was rough, 3 was hell.
C. Paced myself a little here as I generally wind up with a score of 3 or 4 after doing low 20's in rounds 1 and 2.

Knee felt really good (didn't feel anything in it today).

Garage gym is coming together...just need to build the Oly Lifting Platform for the infrastructure to be complete. After that, some light KBs and Iron Woody Bands for the wife will have us set until we take the plunge on a weight vest.

Heavy Evy,
Doing a Tabata for a low score is different from doing a Tabata for total reps. You need to game it a bit to maximize your low score.
You did 102 reps total, but say you tried to do 14 reps in each of the 8 - 20 sec sets instead, your total reps would have been 112. So, as you can see, you would have done more work by using the low score strategy.
Even 13/set would have given you more total reps than using the amrap method.
I hope this helps.

Chad Hall, rest up man. If you are ill, don't make your recovery longer by trying to fit the WOD in.

Clean grip snatch was difficult, my regular snatch is still not where it needs to be (receiving too much weight with my quads), so low weight more focus on tech. Part B smoked my lower back, the 2 pood was bit too heavy, but glad I went for it. Did exactly 9 reps each round for Tabata push ups, was the perfect amount, barely made the last round, do 7 singles.

Gord - Good call on taping a 2.5# to the KB. Will try that next time. Not sure if brain could have figured out how to do that tonight though.

Squeezed in part of yesterday's WOD 1 today.

A. subbed 100#. Got 4 full ladders plus 2. Need to test a 1RM in the near future.
C. rounds 4 & 5 were getting pretty ugly.

Followed up with DU work. Call me a wimp, but the pullup bar was way too cold in the garage to do pullups on.

The sntach grip power cleans felt quite akward... By the end of each B set my hamstrings and lower back were so tight and cramped up, it was insane! I didn't try to game the tabata push-ups. Glad for the rest day tomorrow. My body felt wrecked from the doubles yesterday.

Dr Lisa said...

An "interesting" article in the crossfit journal called Judgement as Virtue by russell berger. It is obvioulsy a response to what happened at the BBS. I couldn't figure out how to post the actual address of the article but it is in there in pdf. Should make for some good discussions for rest day!!

first time doing clean grip power snatch, felt a little awkward and pushed them out a little at the top.
Snatch grip dead lift was new too and felt great, i like this movement and see the benefit and carry over. KBS felt light and easy, need a 2.5 pood. GHD back extensions felt ok considering the sore hamstrings from this last week. Tabata pushups were a disappointment, was on track for a low of 12 but broke down on the last set....felt good overall, however, hamstrings still very sore

rwcorson,
Thanks for the tips, have to get crafty with it next time!
Joey Warren,
I know what you mean about awkward, when I tried it in warm it felt like 2 knee surgeries were in the near future.

Stay Classy

I took this session off as I was too sore to even get into the bottom of snatch. Rest and nutrition were way off, so rather than hurt myself, rest was the prudent thing to do.

Back at it Tuesday.

Geoff Aucoin said...

Lisa I saw that article and I thought it seemed to be a little timely. It's like a 'justification' article of sorts. There's a shot of CFC in there, though!

Clean grip snatch was a little weird. Felt a very slow turnover. Dropped weight on 4 &5 to minimize push out.
SDL felt good, tried to keep back very tight.
KBS wooped me today. took everything I had on the last set.
GHD BE went well, really felt the burn with the 2 count in there.
tabata push ups burned. satisfied with 11, was shooting for 14.

Pete Seguin said...

A. 115x3,115x3,95x3,95x3,95x3
I wasn't able to accelerate the weight up the way that I would have liked at 115lbs, so I dropped the weight and focused on my timing so that I could hit it hard and fast without having to press out at the top or drop too low on the catch)
B1. 225x6, 225x6, 225x6
B2.24kg 15,15,15 (Way too light,only kb I had)
B3. 12, 12, 12
(I wish I hadn't stopped at 12's across the board but I had to fight hard to even get those 12, my lower back was extremelly stiff by the end. Not sure why I suck so much at back extensions, my lower back always goes into spasm after these bad boys)

atom said...

a1. 135/3, 145/3, 135/3, 135/3, 135/3 - Didn't go past 145 because I found that when I was landing in a power clean stance I wasn't at full arm extension. Dropping to 135 solved this.

b1 225, 225, 245

b2. 80, 80, 85

c. 10 - held 16 for first 4 rounds then dramatically fell off. 13 is totally doable but I wanted to see how it worked out in the end.

Bin said...

A 95, 105, 115, 115, 115
B1 All done at 195 (just over 100% of snatch 1RM)
B2 10x3 @ 70lb
B3 12x3
C lowest score - 6; started trailing off about halfway through

Really enjoyed the mechanics of the clean/power snatch, felt really nice once I understood what I was supposed to do. I did the DL with similar loading and form to how I would do snatch pulls in o-lifting (ie without loading about 110% of 1RM).

Chad Hall said...

Playing catch up from sickness. Did this yesterday.

A. 95, 115, 115, 125, 130
B1: 225(6), 225(6), 245(4)
B2: 15, 15, 12 at 2 pood
B3: 15, 12, 6-10-12
C. 10

Notes:
The snatch was awful. Weight was light but my form was really off. Stayed light to try and work it out. Part B destroyed by back and grip was limiting factor for the deadlifts. Gamed 10 for tabata, first time gaming, didn't fatigue until the last 2 rounds.

Took it easy getting back into it.

C. Tabata Push Ups - low score - 27/19/10/9/8/7/7/7

The clean grip power snatch were pretty easy, probably could have gone heavier. Snatch grip deadlift was still limited by my hands/grip from yesterday. Everything else felt good except the tabata. As you can see, I start off killing it, but I fall apart pretty quick. Working hard on sustainability. Obviously I could do better on an overall tabata score by holding back some on the first couple sets, but I truly went 100% every single 20 seconds.
